The Great Ordeal / Re: [TGO Spoilers]Kellhus, savior or not?

From what I recall of a interview, Bakker felt stifled by restrictions of real world when writing Neuropath. It was still a helluva of a book. Putting it down after finishing it, I had to sit in a shower for an hour or two and think.

Based on some phrasing of Aurang my belief is that there is salvation where the noble/moral and self-sacrificing get to enjoy themselves, but that is just another spectrum of emotions for Gods to feed on. Spices essentially for the wheat and meat.

Didn't Bakker himself mention three options in some long ago interview?

Wouldn't an easier solution be to bend her mind Dunyainly and teleport her in when you need her? Sperm is not hard to come by. (oh snap)

I remember someone raising that possibility before somewhere but I can't recall who, when and where.

Maybe Kellhus will completely burn down the granary eh?

I hope Aurang's wang is Mandingo sized. It would bring a lot to the series I feel.

Scales are also heavily tilted in way of damnation too.

Aye, but there have been many Takers in history and there are other Gods with other interests. I'm certain there should be something else in play we're not aware of.

I think the reason why Achamian has received further dreams is because of the Whelming Kellhus performed on him to bypass the sorcerous restriction on divulging the Gnosis. He did something that unshackled the unedited memories of Seswatha.

Yeah, plenty of Gods should be on Kellhus' side. War, pestilence, disease, famine, and the trickster. Though, that's only if the outcome is what they are after, and those aren't just arbitrary things assigned the ciphrang/gods. If the important piece is worshipers, then they would all be against him since he's presumably taking them all away.

I'm thinking that the Demon Gods each have a particular brand of emotions they like to feed on. Everyone really wins except Yatwer perhaps, who can maybe see the end of birth if Kellhus has his way? I'm not sure. I can't remember why exactly she and her cult is after him, other than supplanting the usual religious tradition.

Maybe it's like modern capitalism, Kellhus has a legal obligation to maximize shareholder value (or face legal action) even though milking the franchises with annual increases will destroy its longevity and/or sustainability. Yatwe is the zombie board member shouting LONG TERM GAINS.

Kellhus is good for business. Soul harvest rate went up 1500% since he took over as CEO at Earwa Inc.

I don't remember much madness, aside from Kellhus taking a few un-Dunyain moral stances at the end of PoN. The Survivor made some declarations of madness, but if you can call yourself mad, you're still on the sanity spectrum in my book. In my viewpoints big K and Survivor were textbook Dunyain. Taking control of their circumstances in pursuit of the Absolute, albeit following different paths. It's why I have a hard time subscribing to Kellhus cares theory. The Survivor is there as a showcase of the correct path, love and all that jazz. Kellhus on the other hand is going to pull a Kirk style Kobayashi Maru escapade I think.

Quick aside, how do they define madness? Believing in their own power-trips? Turning into a normie?
